BACKGROUND: Ratified House Bill 281 provides grant funds to counties to develop community-based correction programs to appropriately address criminal behavior, provide effective rehabilitative services and to expand sentencing options for offenders receiving non-incarcerative sentences. At the May 16, 1995 BOCC meeting, the Board approved acceptance of the initial contract for services through June 30, 1995. Funds totalling $45,486 were used to initiate a pre-trial release program and to contract for substance abuse residential treatment services. The state has approved the application for continuation of the program. Additional funding totalling $181,841 is available for the period July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996. These funds will be used to implement the pre-trial release program and to provide a comprehensive substance abuse program for persons sentenced to intermediate sanctions. Both programs will be administered on a contractual basis and funded solely by partnership funds. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the grant award and authorize the manager, if necessary, to make minor changes to the contract within the approved contract amount.
